    I completely agree!! I am glad it is only 2 hours away, although I dont get there as much as I would like, and it is a good thing I dont live closer.... I would be there all the time. It is great to be able to walk around in bare feet if you wish. I do hope the tri-cities event goes good and is...

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    Problem with foam wheels is I dont have the room to hang all my planes so some sit on the ground and if there is any weight to the airframe they flat spot pretty quickly.... otherwise I love the light weight of them

    What a day!!!! What a fantastic day yesterday!!! Had a buddy of mine invite me to fly in Wenatchee yesterday so I took him up on it! I left here at 8:30 am and got there at about 10:15, I intended to only stay till 2 or so. The last I looked at the clock it was 1:00pm so I thought "one more...

    One thing is that if the cowling has a lip just before the outlet air, try not to cut that off as it creates a low pressure at the opening and helps "suck" the air through the cowling. I have even seen people put a little deflector just in front of the exit hole to create the low pressure.....

    As far as baffling, I used 1/16th inch hobby foam from like a craft store, it is easy to work with, can take CA glue and is cheap!! lol It doesn't touch the engine so heat is not an issue and you can direct the airflow where you want.

    I have gone both ways with the gasket and without and have not seen a difference either way. I would use red lock tight if it were me though. It will withstand a bit higher temp and if you need to get the bolts back out, then all you have to do it heat the bolt at the head with a soldering...

    That's great Nick!! so then you also know that on aircraft engines, they NEVER have a steel bolt threaded directly into aluminum, they use thread inserts into the aluminum and that is where I feel the design flaw is if there is any. My respect sir!! That is the direction I should have gone after...

    Ok AKNick, I understand what you are saying here but, at the risk of being seen as a PITA :veryshocked: a couple things stick out here to me, first you said you got longer bolts to protrude through the casting of the exhaust flange, that you threw away the gasket and that the muffler is a sloppy...

    Well.... I hate to contradict but, I have found that if the mixture is correct (key part here) and if engine cooling through the cowl is sufficient, then you won't loose bolts. You have two dissimilar metals, aluminum cylinder head and steel bolts, the aluminum heats faster loosening the grip on...
